Tattoo by Wallace Stevens


The light is like a spider.
It crawls over the water.


It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids


And spreads its webs there--
Its two webs.


The webs of your eyes
Are fastened


To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.


There are filaments of your eyes
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.

  1. Dave, I normally wouldn't go for tattooed guys, but the way number 2 shows his is pretty darn hot.
